Measuring Angles

Use the GetAngle command to measure angles between two line or polyline segments. You can use the command as a transparent command. The lines can be arbitrary and not part of a drawing.

To measure angles between two lines:

  1. Type GetAngle at the command prompt.
  2. In the graphics area, select two lines or polylines between which to measure the angle.

    The resulting measurements display:

    The acute angle between the two lines is <n> degree(s) and <n> radian(s).
    The obtuse angle between the two lines is <n> degree(s) and <n> radian(s).

  If the distance you want to determine has geometrically significant points, for example, start or end points of a drawing entity, use EntitySnaps.
